(no subject)
Sorry I haven't posted in five years! xD I've been rather busy lately!
Anyways, some quick ideas on things I missed:
*Red Sox win the World Series- ^_____^
...Papelbooooooon.....
ilu, my riverdancer...
*Maki Goto's graduation- I wish all the luck in the world to Gocchin! I recently bought her latest album off of iTunes, and really enjoyed it, but if that's not the direction she wants to go in, I will support her. I was never big on the forced "sexy" image, but her songs have been very mature and creative, particularly the album-only tracks. I hope she gets resigned soon!
*Writer's Strike- Yeah, I support the writers! They only want about 1.5%, and not all writers are super rich like Sorkin or something. I think it's fair that they get paid to work. What if you were hired at a McDonalds, and the management refused to pay you because you were "new and they didn't know if you were long-term or not?" You'd sue! Well, that's hte argument that the CEOs are giving to the writers, and it's not right!
*Lucas Grabeel and Oreskaband are doing a movie together- Wow! I'm used to my J-pop fandom colliding with my love of The Colbert Report, but with my Disney Channel fandom? And with my favorite DC star in particular? ^^ I was actually getting into Oreskaband when I heard the news, because I really enjoyed their Bleach theme. So to see such a talented group from Japan work with one of the most talented young star from the US is not only shocking, but really amazing!
*Heroes-
Wow. The "Four Months Ago" episode was really lacking, particularly with the bland and plothole-filled Peter back story (except for the Haitian, of course!) and the really undignified way they killed DL, who was actually a really cool character.
But last week's was pretty amazing! I actually don't hate West now, even though I typically despise him (and I don't even have anything against Yaeko or Caitlin- okay, maybe Caitlin's bad fake accent, but I don't mind her as a character). I think that when anyone is near HRG, their lameness disappears, and they can only be cool. But the part with Elle and Claire walking past each other! Intense! I think my favorites parts were Hiro's monologue and HRG not dying. But the whole episode was amazing, and very reminiscent of season one Heroes.
I think Heroes got more into the weird psychodrama and family stuff and less with lame romantic plot points in this episode, and I'm really excited about that, especially with Tim Kring's apology and promise to improve the series.
*Wizards of Waverly Place premieres- I have a whole rant on this show for later, but let me just say it seriously bothers me, and annoys me like no other show on Disney Channel does. Not even Cory in the House, my previous least favorite DC show, bothers me this much, because it's just boring. Not even the Cheetah Girls bother me this much. Not even Zanessa. Yeah, it bothers me, and it is kinda personal.
On a similar note, I actually really like Hannah Montana now. I mainly ship Jackson/Oliver, but I think Lily/Oliver and Jake/Miley are cute too.
I'm tired, so good night, and expect a better post soon (with some fic!)
